Undefeated in MMA and a UFC sensation, Josh Hokit He has already decided on his next move. In June, in Washington (USA), the bad boy knocked out the popular Derrick Lewis In the second round, right there in the White House, he moved closer to a title shot in the heavyweight division (up to 120,2 kg). However, it seems the American's priority is not fighting for the undisputed title, but rather against... Alex Poatán competing for the 'BMF' (toughest fighter in the company) title, whose owner is Charles of the Bronx.

So much so that Hokit made an unusual demand of the Brazilian and reinforced the challenge to him. As last Sunday (21), the Americans celebrated Father's Day, the controversial fighter took advantage of the special date to call Poatan his son. It is worth noting that, after the UFC star switched from light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) to heavyweight, 'The Incredible Hok' intensified his attacks, which are anything but light.
